    Hi. Is the plugin block crawler, same as block usergent? Sorry silly question, i’m not surely what is difference crawler vs user-agent, just be sure before working on it.
    I used code bellow in .htaccess. If your plugin work same function as user-agent. Can i delete these code and started working on your plugin? By the way “add new/each user-gent” to “Web Crawler List”

    # Start HackRepair.com Blacklist
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} “^Mozilla.*Indy” [NC,OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} “^Mozilla.*NEWT” [NC,OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} “^$” [NC,OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} “^Maxthon$” [NC,OR]
    Thanks

  • No, user-agent and crawlers/Referer’s are different beasts.

    Once you’ve installed this plugin,
    see Stop Web Crawlers menu on left -> “List”
    and note the entries are website addresses, aka, Referer’s.

    If you wish to block user-agents like those you’ve listed above, you would add those lines to the top of your .htaccess file.
